I have now had this tent for three years. I typically use it for a week at a time but occasionally only for a night. I set it up by myself. I have at least 60 nights of camping in it. It takes me 30 minutes to set it up. Most of that is in putting in the stakes. I use long lag bolts and a cordless drill which I find easier then pounding stakes unless you are in soft ground. It doesn't leak in heavy blowing rain or running ground water. I bought the optional ground cover and hanging nets which I recommend. I am 65 and short but don't have any trouble lifting it or setting it up. You have to be able to lift a bulky 50 lb package and lift the tent pole into position. Two adults shouldn't have any problems but a single adult who can't lift 50 lbs couldn't do it. It is not free standing so you have be able to put in the stakes. Won't work on platform or pavement. I like it extremely well and have used a portable heater with it on several occasions.
We have a 9 and a 7 year old that are using these cots during own home construction. I have been so pleasantly surprised by the construction of these cots. We have also taken them on vacation. They are solidly built and make for a comfortable sleeping solution for my kiddos. We use them as bunk beds and as individual cots - both ways work great!
I bought this tent for the second time. My husband and I bought this tent 14 years ago and we loved it. It is water proof and holds up in high winds in the desert storms. Unfortunately it will mold if you don’t dry it out. Haha. We loved it enough to buy a second one. Stayed perfectly dry though four days of on and off rain.
This is our 3rd 10'x14' Flexbow VX Tent. They are ALL excellent equipment, stands up to 40mph winds, daily down pours of monsoon rain and excessive high heat exposure. We have had zipper failure on 1 tent. Kodiak Tents supported us and sent new zippers...
These tents are designed and proven to be great outdoor equipment. Capable of with standing the outdoor elements to a high degree within the extremes.
Kodiak support during ownership is second to none. My last shipment from Kodiak was stolen by "porch thieves" and they immediately re-shipped to replace the items ($2,000 value) without any hassle. I'm indebted to Kodiak and will always support them.
We are located in Tierra Amarilla, NM. at 8 000' above sea level.
I finally got healed up enough to setup my tent & season it in. This tent is a quality tent. I seasoned per the instructions. I left my tent setup in my backyard for almost a week. My tent went through 2 strong thunderstorms & I seasoned it 5 times. During all the seasoning & 2 storms not one drop of water got in my tent. I've never had such quality & water proof tent!!!!
